A New Substack and Podcast Season
by Maura Conlon | October 31, 2026
I’m excited to share two new chapters in the journey of Original Belonging: season two of the podcast and the launch of my new Substack. Both grew from a desire to explore more deeply the significant influences and archetypal events experienced in our coming-of-age-years. I believe they hold the key to opening our hearts and inspiring how we embrace our unique destinies today.
Original Belonging Substack Community
You are most welcomed to join the growing Original Belonging community on Substack. This is a place inviting you to turn toward the inspiration that called to you during your life’s first 14 years, a space to hear conversation about early sparks of imaginative possibility, and to witness your life’s journey as crystalized via through-threads from these early times. The journey of reclamation is one of love and mystery, perhaps beginning in some darkness, one that yields—in time—to a gentle candlelight.
This place of seeing from the heart offers a great hospitality, a place to land, to dream your life forward.
You’re never alone when you come home to your original belonging.

The Original Belonging Podcast: Season Two Makes Its Debut
Season Two of the Original Belonging podcast features conversation with my guest exploring the seminal moments of life’s first 14 years and the importance of staying connected to these early gifts that made themselves known to us in this formative landscape. In our conversations, a deck of “curiosity cards” leads the way into illuminating the moments that inspired us early on, that transfixed our hearts, creating an archetypal imprint that can sustain us throughout life.
As the external world becomes an increasingly complex place, rooting into our true inner home is paramount.
Our opening episode is released during the Celtic celebration of Samhain, the time of darkness that beckons the journey into our soulful, inner light inherited from the ancestors. We are grateful for the “hospitality” of wisdom shared from guest, Chip Conley.
Just released!
